IGN: Life Force Review

Life Force is a sensational scrolling shooter design from the age of the NES, one of the best the genre ever saw released on that system. It takes the basic foundations of Gradius — itself already a great game — and adds on extra layers of depth with the fresh inclusion of a two-player co-op mode and levels that scroll both horizontally and vertically. It’s a ton of fun to play, especially with a friend, and it’s a fantastic value to own in VC form for just five bucks. Highly recommended, everyone. Don’t miss out on Life Force.
